12 30 pm YOUNG ARTIST PROFILE

Murrough Connolly – Guitar

We are delighted to welcome Murrough Connolly to perform as this year’s Young Artist. See below for biographical information.

‘My name is Murrough Connolly and I am nineteen. Guitar has always been a very important part of my life and I began to play at the age of eight. Throughout my early teenage years, I focused primarily on blues and jazz and I studied with Jimmy Canty in the Kerry School of Music. I collaborated with musicians my own age during secondary school and I really enjoyed the band experience. I was introduced to classical guitar when I was sixteen, during Transition Year. Under the expert guidance and teaching of Jerry Knipper, I soon grew to love classical guitar. I am currently an undergraduate at the Cork School of Music and I have completed the first year of my BMus course under the inspiring tuition of Jerry Creedon. I also teach guitar in my spare time.’

1 pm FILM SHOWING Rhona Clarke (featured composer) and Marie Hanlon

Four short installation videos will be presented based on objects and places both real and contrived, from the mysterious Burren of Co Clare to the world of Surrealism.
